Goodbye to June 2016

Goodbye to June 2016

It's time to say Goodbye to June 2016 and have a look at the weather conditions of this month around Koh Samui. It's been an interesting month of June this year, with plenty of sunshine during the first two weeks of June, making it very hot and having the hottest day of the year sofar with one day hitting the 38C mark.

This was very unusual for a typical June and the second half of this month saw more typical June weather with partial or fully covered and cloudy skies with tropical showers coming in on a regular base, sometimes accompanied by a strong breeze.

During this June of 2016 I was home on Koh Samui all month and enjoyed a visit by my sister and her husband who came to visit their son who is participating in a six month internship at the Tongsai Bay hotel, one of the very first five start hotels on the island.

This month I also had the opportunity to participate in two running races, the yearly Cancer Care run in Nathon, which I now participated in for six consecutive years and last weekend I ran the 12th Donsak minimarathon.

Now it's time to look ahead, to the 2016 July version, which will see me in Moalboal in the Philippines and on Phuket for PADI IDC programs, a busy month for travelling and work again.
